The molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of complex behaviour are poorly
understood. The mammalian genus Microtus provides an excellent model for investigating the …

Vasopressin modulates many social and nonsocial behaviors, including emotionality. We have
previously reported that male mice with a null mutation in the V1a receptor (V1aR) exhibit …

Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) is the aetiological agent of AIDS 1–3 . The virus
establishes lytic, latent and non-cytopathic productive infection in cells in culture 4,5 . The …

Behaviors associated with monogamy, including pair-bond formation, are facilitated by the
neuropeptide vasopressin and are prevented by a vasopressin receptor [V1a receptor (V1aR)…

Oxytocin receptors in the nucleus accumbens have been implicated in the regulation of
alloparental behavior and pair bond formation in the socially monogamous prairie vole. Oxytocin …

To investigate the role of vpr (viral protein R) in the replication and cytopathicity of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), infectious proviruses were constructed that were …

Strontium ranelate exerts both an anti-catabolic and an anabolic effect on bone cells. To further
investigate the molecular mechanism whereby strontium ranelate inhibits bone resorption…

To investigate the role of vpu in the replication and cytopathicity of human immunodeficiency
virus type 1 (HIV-1), infectious proviruses were constructed that were isogenic except for …

Increases in dopamine and glutamate transmission in the nucleus accumbens independently
promote the reinstatement of cocaine seeking, an animal model of relapse. Here we have …

Cocaine self-administration alters patterns of gene expression in the brain that may underlie
cocaine-induced neuronal plasticity. In the present study, male Sprague Dawley rats were …
